Shriya NevatiaAre Belly Dancers taking over the World?

Fight Club style, belly dancing groups are emerging everywhere. Even Shakira’s ‘Hips don’t lie’ took over the music charts for ages. Shakira is only scratching the surface of what hips are really up to; hips may not lie but I’ve formed a conspiracy theory that they may be taking over the world.
I went to a church fete today, specifically I went there to buy a hip scarf for Goddess Night. Earlier in the year I joined a belly dancing class and every week I practice hip drops and pelvis tilts under the crucifix in the church hall.
I haven’t been to a Goddess Night before, I’ve been told that every woman gets to be a goddess and if you’re so inclined, you can bring a snake along to dance with.
Men are invited to belly dance but no men are invited to Goddess Night; it’s all about women celebrating women.
A work colleague of mine spends her weekends sewing coin bras and balancing a sword on her head. After a tedious day in the office, she performs in clubs for crowds of hundreds.
My belly dance teacher says you can belly dance when you’re five or when you’re eighty, you can dance when you’re eight months pregnant and I’m sure if you’re talented you could belly dance on a ladder with a chain saw in one hand and a cutlass in the other.
At first I had reservations about my conspiracy theory about belly dancers. Now I think women should use their hips to take over parliament. Really, I can’t see a good reason not to go goddess and take over the world.
